Product Information

Full details

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm Back Zip Full Length Wetsuit is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking a balance of warmth, flexibility, and durability. Its primary benefit is providing reliable insulation for moderate water temperatures, while its key caveat is that it's most suitable for activities where extensive flexibility isn't the absolute top priority. This wetsuit features 3mm neoprene on the chest and back for core warmth and 2mm on other panels for enhanced mobility, a fast-entry back zipper, durable flatlock seams, and reinforced knee pads for protection.

FAQs

What is the temperature range best suited for this wetsuit?

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is generally recommended for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (59°F and 68°F). This can vary based on individual cold tolerance and wind conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Jobe sizing chart, paying close attention to chest, waist, hip, and inseam measurements. A proper fit should be snug but not constricting, allowing for movement without excessive water flushing.

Can this wetsuit be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with fresh water and a mild wetsuit shampoo if necessary. Avoid detergents and bleach.

What is the benefit of the limestone-based neoprene?

Using limestone as a base for neoprene is considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based neoprene, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Are the knee pads removable?

The knee pads are integrated into the wetsuit's design for protection and are not intended to be removable.

How long does the back zipper typically last?

The back zipper is designed for durability. Regular rinsing after use and proper storage will help maintain its function and longevity.

Can I wear this wetsuit for diving?

While this wetsuit offers insulation, it is primarily designed for surface watersports. For diving, especially in colder waters, a thicker wetsuit or a drysuit is typically recommended.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Neoprene has a break-in period; wear it for short durations initially to allow it to mold to your body. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and not caught on the flap.

Water leakage at the zipper or seams

Check that the back zipper is fully closed and the protective flap underneath is correctly positioned. Ensure all seams are intact. Minor leakage, especially at the neck or wrists, can be normal during initial use but should minimize with proper fit.

Odors developing inside the wetsuit

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. If odors persist, use a specialized wetsuit shampoo for cleaning, following the product instructions. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing.

Neoprene material feels stiff or brittle

This can indicate exposure to direct sunlight or improper drying/storage. Always dry in the shade and store away from heat sources. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good warmth for moderate water conditions.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knees.
  • Easy to put on and take off thanks to the back zipper.
  • Comfortable fit with flatlock seams that reduce chafing.

Cons

  • May be less flexible than thinner wetsuits for highly acrobatic water sports.
  • Back zipper can sometimes require assistance for a perfect seal.
  • Not intended for extremely cold water conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit requires no specific setup beyond ensuring it fits correctly. Once you have selected the appropriate size, simply wear it as you would any other garment.

Compatibility:

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is designed for a wide range of watersports. It is compatible with all standard water sports equipment such as surfboards, paddleboards, kayaks, and kneeboards.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, chlorine, and any other residue.
  • Hand Wash Only: Do not machine wash. If cleaning is necessary beyond rinsing, use a mild wetsuit shampoo and cool water.
  • Avoid Detergents and Bleach: Never use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as they can damage the neoprene and seams.
  • Dry in Shade: Hang the wetsuit to dry on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can degrade the neoprene material and cause fading.
  • Store Properly: Once completely dry, store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it tightly; hanging is preferable.
  • Avoid Sharp Objects: Be careful around sharp objects that could snag or tear the material.
